Changing the Perception – The New Custom Built Home –Modular Magnificence

How is a Modular Home different from a Manufactured Home or a Site Built Home?

Modular Homes, sometimes called prefabricated homes, are structures that are pre-built in sections called modules that are shipped to the building site and then placed together according to a detailed blueprint. Even the roofers have specific instructions to follow. Modular homes are nearly indistinguishable from site built homes and you live in your home longer.

Many people who fear the term “modular” do not truly understand the difference between modular, manufactured and site built homes. Before you make your final decision, it is well worth well worth "investigating what a true State Code" modular home is.

Modular vs. Manufactured

Key main differences that distinguish a modular home from a manufactured home:

· Manufactured Homes

o Built on a Steel Beam and Axles.

o A true Mobile home or A HUD Code Sectional –referred to as a single wide or a double wide trailer

o Generally placed in a trailer park or mobile home lot in a mobile home community

o Often valued like an automobile and loses value over time

o MANUFACTURED HOMES ARE BUILT TO A HUD CODE WHICH IS A GOVERNMENT CODE. A MODULAR HOME IS BUILT TO THE STATE CODE WHICH IS REFERENCED TO A IRC (INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE). THE IRC CODE IS THE EXACT SAME CODE AS A SITE BUILT HOME..

o THE FLOOR PLANS ARE NOT AS CUSTOMIZEABLE

· Modular Homes

o Nearly identical to a site-built home, however a modular home is built in a controlled environment

o Placed on a traditional foundation (including a basement or crawlspace)

o Traditional Construction Materials (2x6’s, drywall, wood trusses and superior insulation)

o Fully customizable- This is not a cookie cutter house as there are many additional items that can be added, changed and altered from the original plan.

o Built to International and State Standards which means they are built specifically for the location for which they will be taking residence. A modular in California would be able to withstand the occasional Earthquake while a home in Florida would have materials that withstand hurricane force winds. At Silver Creek Homes Inc. , we specialize in being custom home builders in builders in Southern MIchigan & Northern Indiana. We are licensed, bonded, and insured in both States we build in..

o Increase in value to the home over time equal to that of a site built home.

Modular Homes and Site- Built Homes

There are some key reasons a modular home is superior to a site-built home. One of the main is that a modular home is fully capable of being adapted and customized just like a home built on site. As a matter of fact, a modular home has all the benefits of a site-built home plus some added advantages!

Why is modular better?

1.One of the main REASONS IS THAT EVERY COMPONENT, JOIST, TRUSS & STRUCTURE IS ENTIRELY ENGINEERED & MOST OF YOUR STRUCTURE IS BUILT IN STEEL JIGS. THE HOME IS MORE SQUARE IN STRINGENTLY BUILT TO TAKE ON THE TRANSPORTATION OF THE STRUCTURE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, A MODULAR HOME IS BUILT WITH THE EXACT SAME NAME BRAND MATERIALS & COMPONENTS OF A NEW SITE BUILT HOME. HOWEVER, WE CAN BUILD THE HOME ON AVERAGE $25/SF LESS A SQUARE FOOT THAN A SITE BUILT HOME SAVING YOU TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS & MORE OVER A 30 YEAR TERM.

· Affordability – With modular you generally get more square footage per dollar than a site built home.

· Made in a controlled environment with less pests, mold and exposure to elements like rain or pollen. This means less damage and increased efficiency because weather will not stop us!

· Faster Return on Investment. Modular homes allow for site work and actual structure building to happen at the same time. This can mean a home is built in 50% less time!

· Flexible – Modular home can be built more affordably in areas that are more remote and can be added to easily upon request.

· Environmental Advantages for modular buildings. Modular homes can be 100% recycled. You can move your home and not lose any of your original investment. Reduction of waste and site disturbance are commonplace.

· Healthier. Being built in a controlled environment proves to be extremely beneficial by eliminating the risk of mildew, rust, sun damage and mold which can exacerbate respiratory problems whereas a site built home is at risk from these type of threats.
